Flu shots are best taken before the flu season starts. Many practitioners don't like to give the vaccine to fevering patients so they can identify a fever or other unexpected response to the vaccine. If you were incubating the flu, the vaccine would not prevent it from occurring. It takes a week or two to develop flu protective antibodies after the shot.
